Production, release and criticism

The Cursed Land is set in the rainforests of Malaya Peninsula. It was filmed in a real location in the Baha-Hala Forestland, Narathiwat Province in lower southern Thailand, which is the border with Malaysia. The house is assumed to be Mit and May's new home was filmed at Ban Khiao (บ้านเขียว, [bâːn kʰǐa̯w], "green house"), a real ancient wooden house that is famous for being a haunted house in Ayutthaya Province.

In the trailer of the film, there appears to be ghostly Muslim women in prayer clothes. There is criticism that this is an insult to Islam. The producer has denied this and has issued a written clarification.

It is the second film about superstition and supernatural beings among Muslims after The Djinn's Curse, which was released in November 2023, making them rare content in the Thai film industry. Panu Aree, the director and co-writer is also a Muslim.

The film releases domestically on July 11, 2024, and has been shown at several international film festivals such as International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) in the Netherlands, Ho Chi Minh City International Film Festival in Vietnam, Asian Film Festivals in Italy, Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BiFan) in South Korea, and New York Asian Film Festival (NYAFF) in the United States.

Facebook Jubphitnang criticized that "it's like they're taking us into a haunted house, the Muslim version of The Conjuring".
